[PLUG] Replace Quicken with GnuCash...

[Don Buchholz]

I can't speak for GnuCash.  I left Quicken for Moneydance a dozen years ago and never looked back.  In the last twelve years I've made an initial purchase and one upgrade purchase.  It is a Java application.


IIRC, initially support was via a mailing list.  They have a more polished system now.  <shrug> I've never needed the support, so I really don't keep track of them.  I purchased the upgrade a few years ago just because I had been using it long enough I felt the guy who wrote it deserved just compensation.  And they're not like Intuit who constantly push marketing messages at me and is always angling for a new way to nickle & dime me with another new 'service' [in the context of Intuit, a word most accurate when interpreted using a British slang dictionary].

How effective a replacement for Quicken is GnuCash?

Does GnuCash allow importing from Excel or LibreOffice Calc?

My fiance is trying the Windows version, but there is a Linux and a Mac
version too.  Does the Windows version of GnuCash work as well as the
Linux version?

I haven't convinced her yet that she doesn't need Quicken, but she has
GnuCash and is giving it a good try.  Quicken is ridiculously expensive
at upwards of $140 US.
